COOKING EQUIPMENT
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1. Push in the control knob and turn to full
rate–large flame.
2. Hold in knob and light the hob by
depressing the ignition button, which
is located on the fascia. It is necessary
to hold the knob depressed after the
burner has ignited for approximately 10–15
seconds, to allow the thermocouple probe
to reach temperature, before releasing
the knob.
• Should the flame go out when the knob
is released, the procedure should be
repeated holding the knob depressed for
slightly longer.
• If the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and
the burner left for at least 1 minute before
a further attempt to ignite the burner.
• For simmering, turn the knob further anti-
clockwise to the low rate position.
• To turn off: turn the control knob until
the line on the control knob is aligned
with the zero on the control panel. Always
make sure the control knob is in the off
position when you have finished using the
hotplate burners.
USING THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE (DUAL FUEL
MODELS)
1. Ensure power is switched on.
2. The hotplate control is numbered from
1 to 6. To turn it on, rotate the knob
either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the
required position. Position 1 is the coolest
setting.
3. To turn off, rotate the knob until the line
or pointer on the knob lines up with the
zero on the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and
transfers heat through conduction. For
maximum efficiency a correctly sized pan with
a flat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan
size should be the same or slightly larger (up
to 1” / 2.5cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time,
we recommend that you prime it.
TO PRIME THE HOTPLATE
1. Switch on the hotplate for a short period,
without a pan, to harden and burn off the
coating.
2. Use a medium to high setting for 3–5
minutes. A non-toxic smoke may occur
during this process.
3. Allow it to cool.
USING THE GRILL
Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and
turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off
at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
TO LIGHT
1. Open door.
2. Push in the control knob and turn to full
rate/large flame.
3. Push the control knob in and hold whilst
pressing the ignition switch.
4. The burner should ignite and the control
knob should be held in for 10–15 seconds
before release. If the burner goes out,
repeat procedure holding control knob for
slightly longer.
On first use of the grill, it should be heated
for about 20 minutes to eliminate any
residual factory lubricants that might impart
unpleasant smells to the food being cooked.
A non-toxic smoke may occur when using for
the first time so open any windows and turn
on mechanical ventilators to help remove the
smoke.
Although the grill does heat up quickly, a few
minutes preheat is recommended.
Flame Failure Device (FFD): the grill burner
is fitted with a flame-sensing probe, which
will automatically cut off the gas supply
in the event of the flame going out. In the
event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and
do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at
least 1 minute.
It is normal for the flames on this burner to
develop yellow tips as it heats up.
A reversible grill pan trivet enables the correct
grilling height to be achieved.
